Last night brought a splendid full moon
and as from today the days start to get longer. Suddenly there are
bees buzzing and chirping sounds at all hours, the fruit trees have
burst into flower, and I can stay out and play just that little bit
longer...

Over the hill to the south we watched
and waited unsuccessfully for signs of habitation at an abandoned
Golden Eagle nest and unexpectedly came across a Badger sett with
entrance/exits at either side of the track.

Exit hole?
I was able to photograph a Hoopoe from
the car as we cruised towards it and we were greeted by a friendly
donkey who wanted it's nose scratching.
Meanwhile Storks are setting up homes
at unlikely sites and we're getting all sorts of clients at the
window bird-table.
